Short: BPM counter for house/goa/trance/etc... Author: Dan Cannon Uploader: Dan Cannon Type: mus/misc Architecture: m68k-amigaos Beatific - another Blender Software (BS) production --------------------------------------------------- Greetings, DJs and train spotters (choo choo). Do you want to find the BPM of some of the tunes in your vinyl or CD collection for mixing or joining sample loops? Of course you do. And this here's the program to help you do it. Just play the tune and hit the Return key on each beat. As you do this the BPM and a bar display are shown in a little window. If you're going through a long bit of the tune without beats or you fall out of time, hit Space then start again on the first beat of a bar using Return. The time in between the Space and Return won't be counted. After a while the BPM display settles down and you've got your BPM, so hit Esc to tell it that you've finished before the next tune. If that's not enough, you can ask for the BPM values on pitches from -8% to +8% and speeds of 33 RPM, 45 RPM, or both to be worked out and displayed, saved to a file, or sent to the clipboard. It's worked out using the BPM you just took at 0%. You can use this to see if you've got a good chance of mixing two tunes (yeah, I know, but I've just started DJing and sometimes it helps me for the tricky ones, it might do for you too) or joining two sample loops. Beatific can also use the controller port. This means you can use a joystick, joypad, or mouse instead of the keys if you want. But you can also use it to connect anything (eg. the output from a mixer) to one of the controller port pins and let that drive it instead. So, what does it work on? ------------------------- Any Amiga with Kickstart 2 or above. Version 1.0 -> 1.1 ------------------ - Project > Save As option added, saves the Final BPM window to a file. - Edit > Delete works. - Settings menu added, lets you to set how the bar looks (not just 4/4) and show the BPM for different RPMs. - It can use the controller port. This means you can use a joystick, joypad, or mouse instead of the keys if you want. But you can also tell it to connect anything (eg. the output from a mixer) to one of the controller port pins and let that drive it instead. Idea was suggested by Wolfgang F.
